K
Written by Kirk Stanton

The following domains need to be whitelisted through any corporate firewall for the operation of Sine.

  • api.sine.co

  • em.sine.co

  • dashboard.sine.co

  • sinecloud-prod-uploads.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com

  • *.r2.cloudflarestorage.com

  • *.cloudfront.net

If you are a Sine MDM customer, please also whitelist:

  • a.simplemdm.com

@sine.co is our domain/email address, and our service emails come from @em.sine.co. The fixed IP address for our third-party SMTP service is 167.89.68.46.

You need to whitelist both @sine.co and @em.sine.co to allow the operation of Sine.

As Sine uses CloudFlare, the IP addresses of these services are not fixed and may change at any time. Please visit our security page for more information.

We use Apple push notifications for updating the iPad settings, broadcasting messages sent from the dashboard, alerting iPhone users of geofence events and more. If you are having trouble receiving push notifications from Sine, please see this guide.

Additional information

Whitelisting the below ports and services may also be required to ensure the Sine provided iPad can be managed and updated whilst connected to your network
